    Default Re: Coming Up with a Workable Visitation Plan

    Thank you. I agree that we need to be as specific as we can. It is 1 1/2 hours each way and we usually meet halfway but with extracurricular activities his dad often picks him up so that he can be there for the activity. When he has games on the weekend we take him to & from his hometown too so that he doesn't miss anything. So it would be nice if we could ask for her to pick him up at our home in those instances when we drive so much for him already, is that reasonable? I know we can ask for whatever we want but we don't want to look like we are being ridiculous (less likely for the Judge to think the rest is unreasonable).

    Since your husband has the right to refuse to take him to activities in his home town on your husband's weekends, its unlikely that mom would be required to share in that transportation for those activities.

    However, had your husband acted more quickly when mom moved, and had taken it to court then, its quite possible that mom would have been ordered to provide ALL of the transportation for dad's visitation, since mom created the distance. The status quo now is that they share the transportation, so that is likely to stay that way.
